Thats a good question LOL. I dunno. I left it running while I was at work

If u see stuff on the side of the hull, thats cat hair. The cat loves going near the stupid printer

PETG @ 230 C. Its the best print yet!. There was a little sting inside the cabin. Thats it! Maybe drop it 5 deg?

That is esteps

I compared it to the first print and it actually looks alot better. The layers are more uniformed and color also. I think have it set at 135 for extrusion. I will drop it down to 130.

2nd print at 200c. Little better. What should I do next? Drop it more? Im not going to be using PLA. I am just using the sample that came with the printer. I have black PETG. Should I put that in and continue from there?

@RyanP What are you using for a slicer? I thought they are universal across all slicers. Im using Creality's

@RyanP
Can you send me your filament files?

M906 X800 Y800 Z800 E800 I50 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

Do you have your Z motors in series? Connected to both Z connectors?

Temps are good. I used my infrared thermo.

@RyanP I posted above

Do i have to auto tune again?

@Veti yes.

What speed to print at? Fast (0.2mm), Normal (0.15mm), or HQ (0.1mm)?

@Phaedrux I tried Ultimaker last night but it seemed too complicated

Also, Im using Creality Slicer. What is a good nonbranded software? Like top-notch. And how do I earn 1 reputation? This 60 sec post thing is annoying

@Phaedrux TY. During heat up if i were to set in the UI, it would always revert. I had to wait until pre-heat was done

Not bad for a first print! LOL I was at 220. Where can I set my bed temps and extruder temps during printing? In the filament config.g?
